EMPLOYMENT (Deaf or Hard of Hearing)

Ohio does not have protections for survivors in its employment (work) law. You have the right to miss work to go to a criminal trial if you get a subpoena (letter) from the Court. When you get a subpoena, you have to show up to court. You can show the subpoena paper to your supervisor/boss so they know and can give time off from work. Your boss cannot write you up or fire you for following a subpoena to go to court. You can get in trouble with the law if you decide not to go to court if you received a subpoena.
